5.0

such a gripping read!! one of the only times i found myself unable and unwilling to think of a resolution - I let the book tell the story without cutting it off at the head (pardon the expression) 
at times a bit long-winded and drawn out, but i kinda liked it that way. very disturbing

Though there is character development, it’s not enough to make you love the characters. Most characters are complicated and honestly stupid? Not to be harsh but a little bit.

I liked this book. It had a lot of plot twists and kept me engaged right until the end. But it was very long, the chapters are criminally long, and it's gruesome. Like really, really gruesome. I usually have a tough stomach for these things but this kept me up at night, not in a good way. If you have any personal experience with sexual violence, missing persons, or murder, stay far away.

What a heartbreaking book. 
There were mulitple parts that my blood was boiling or my stomach hurt. It was graphic and gruesome. It painted an image I couldn't get out of my head, though I didn't want it there in the first place. 

It was depressing and gut-wrenching. The ending 😭😭 

So well written. The definition of a white knuckle thriller/mystery.
